This Iced Pumpkin Spiced Latte is the perfect blend of real pumpkin, cozy spices, and your choice of milk. It's naturally sweetened with a touch of honey, takes just 5 minutes to make, and is more delicious than the coffee shop version!
As a coffee lover, I adore the fall season for its pumpkin spice flavors that seem to be everywhere, especially in lattes at all of the coffee shops.
While I often enjoy my homemade healthy pumpkin spiced latte, I love making an iced version for a refreshing twist as the warm weather usually extends well into October and even November.

Using real pumpkin purée, a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and honey, my iced pumpkin spiced latte captures the cozy fall vibes without the sugar crash of what I see in the coffee shops. Serve it with my Pumpkin Pie Spice Pancakes, Banana And Pumpkin Muffins, or the Gluten-Free Pumpkin Muffins for a nice breakfast!

Ingredient Notes
- Pumpkin - I like using an organic pumpkin puree that is canned. Please do not use a pumpkin pie puree, you want pure pumpkin for this recipe!
- Coffee - This recipe calls for espresso; however, you can use 2 teaspoons of instant espresso. You can also use regular drip coffee or even cold brew coffee. Just adjust the amount accordingly. Espresso is more concentrated than drip coffee.
See the recipe card for quantities.
Variations
- Whipped Cream - Optional, but it adds richness to the coffee. You can make your own with heavy whipping cream or coconut cream and add sugar to taste.
- Pumpkin Spice Mix - You can use a store-bought pumpkin pie spice or you can make your own. I included a recipe for a homemade pumpkin spice blend below.
- Milk - I suggest whole milk; however, you can replace the dairy with any non-dairy substitute like unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk. I love unsweetened coconut milk and then I use an almond milk half & half to increase the creaminess.
How To Make Iced Pumpkin Spiced Latte: Step-By-Step
Here are some quick visual instructions. Remember that full instructions with the exact ingredients are in the printable recipe card:
Step 1: Add espresso, pumpkin puree, honey, and pumpkin spice to a cup.
Step 2: Add your milk of choice.
Step 3: Using a milk frother, froth and mix the milk into the ingredients in your cup.
Step 4: Top with whipped cream and a touch of cinnamon and enjoy.
Confidence Tip
Blending - If you don't have a frother, you can use a blender, cocktail shaker or even just a whisk. The purpose is to make sure that all of the ingredients are well blended.
How to Make Your Own Pumpkin Spice Mix
No pumpkin pie spice? It's easy to make your own. Just mix these spices together and enjoy in your latte and other favorite pumpkin recipes! To make pumpkin spice, here's what you need:
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- ¼ teaspoon Cloves
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
- pinch of Allspice if you have it
For other fall flavors, I love the taste of apple like in my Apple Cranberry Torte or my Honeycrisp Baked Apples. If you are looking for a pumpkin-flavored appetizer, my Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip recipe is also delicious.
